The contest for control of the United States Senate seat in Ohio is close, and the Democrat incumbent is sweating as his Republican opponent, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, surges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown, a favorite among Democrat voters, is behind to his challenger, Bernie Moreno, in a new poll from Napolitan News<\/a> on Wednesday which shows the Republican with 48% of the vote, compared to the incumbent\u2019s 46%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It marks the first time that the Republican candidate has been ahead of Brown, a fixture in Ohio politics, as the state shifts more and more towards becoming a red state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreno is leading among white voters, male voters, and voters in the age range of 30 \u2013 64, and he also holds a lead with Republican and Independent voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And advertising funds are also becoming an advantage for the Republican candidate, NBC News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the primaries in March through August, Democrats had a comfortable edge in advertising dollars, with $78.5 million spent by Democrats compared to $59 million spent by Republicans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But since then, much like the politics of The Buckeye State, the advertising dollars have shifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September Republicans, including groups supporting the candidate, have spent $70 million compared to the Democrats $35 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRed flashing lights have to be blinking all over [Brown\u2019s] campaign headquarters,\u201d Jai Chabria, an Ohio Republican strategist who assisted Republican vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance\u2019s, successful 2022 campaign., said. \u201cThe Republican money has just started to be spent, and they are going to take this seriously because this is the race they need for the majority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown spokesperson Matt Keyes complained about \u201cspecial interest groups\u201d when he spoke to NBC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBernie\u2019s special interest allies are dumping hundreds of millions of dollars into this race to try and defeat Sherrod because they know Sherrod will always stand up to them to do what\u2019s right for Ohio,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Democrats hold a razor-thin one-seat majority in the Senate, which is in serious jeopardy as Brown is sinking and Montana Sen. Jon Tester is facing a strong challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to continue to invest in Ohio,\u201d DSCC chairman, Michigan Sen. Gary Peters said Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington. \u201cWe\u2019re not done investing in Ohio, and it will take more money. But right now \u2026 we have a lot of outside groups that are dumping tens of millions of dollars against Sherrod, trying to prop up another highly flawed candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The election is 38 days away and much can still change in that time but Moreno appears to be surging at the best time as the Republican also leads the incumbent Democrat, who remains a formidable opponent, in two other polls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those polls was done by ActiVote<\/a> and showed that the Republican has a 2-point lead over the incumbent at 51 percent to his 49 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a poll done by RMG Research<\/a> showed that Moreno had a 2-point lead, 48 percent to Brown\u2019s 46 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMoreno benefits from the fact that Donald Trump is leading the presidential race in Ohio by 11 points Still, Brown is supported by 93 percent of Harris voters while Moreno is currently supported by 83 percent of Trump voters,\u201d famed pollster Scott Rasmussen said in a\u00a0post on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the top issues for the Moreno campaign, and for Ohio voters, is the fading coal industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreno addressed the issue in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSherrod Brown\u2019s policies have led to many lost, good-paying coal mining jobs in Ohio. His reckless embrace of the green new scam, left-wing agenda will end coal mining in America,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will retire Sherrod Brown, save coal mining jobs, and restore American energy dominance,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
